I'm looking for some advice on a cheap solution for fast(ish) storage for VMs.
I was thinking of using 2 x 1TB Samsung 860 Evo in an MDADM RAID 1 setup on Linux.
Since I will be sharing out this storage as ISCSI for ESXI (i.e. it will be a big chunk of storage shared out, not individual files visible to Linux), I guess TRIM will not work, so is it still best practise to overprovision by 10% or so?
Open to other suggestions on how to achieve similar results if there are better ways that won't cost the earth..!
Thanks
